There are great concerns and many question marks among the parents of the Helmond Mondomijn children’s center. A 25-year-old assistant at the school is suspected of sexually abusing a child and has been arrested. The parents of a little girl raised the alarm that he allegedly abused their daughter.
She really thinks something about the situation at the childcare center, says a mother in the school yard. “But I don’t think it would be wise to talk about it in front of the children,” she says. The man who was arrested was her daughter’s favorite teacher.
And that is difficult. “You talk about that at home. Very careful indeed. You try to explain that the situation at school is a little different now. And we will have to wait and see. “
“I was told when I had just returned from holiday.”
The teaching assistant was immediately suspended by the school board last Friday. He was arrested on Thursday and remains in custody at this time. The man had worked at the children’s center for years with children between 7 and 12 years old. Last weekend there were three reports. “The exact nature and extent of this is still unclear,” police said at the time.
Mother is worried in the square. “I was told when I had just returned from holiday. Then you think: sometimes you hear it in the news, but of course you don’t hope it will happen to your children at school. Fortunately, the school offers good support and parents are kept informed.”
A pregnant mother tries to stay calm amid the chaos. “My son is in primary school, so luckily he has nothing to do with it.” The mother has talked about it at home. “But that’s hard with a five-year-old. Just talk about it calmly without putting words in your mouth.”
“I don’t want to judge yet on such a sensitive subject.”
The mother carefully asked if her son was connected to anyone from the upper ranks. “Perhaps I would like to show him another picture. See what my son is feeling. For example, sadness or anger. But I don’t want to judge such a sensitive subject yet.”
Furthermore, parents on the square mostly sigh when asked about the situation. It is difficult for them to put their feelings into words. “It’s just a bit of a situation for the school, the parents and the kids,” one summed up the sentiment.
The 25-year-old teaching assistant will be in custody for at least two more weeks. He was arrested for the first time in the court in Den Bosch on Friday.
